Help on starting Production..

Hi, I need major help on producing. I use my computer programs to make beats so far, but I need help on them.. I have Reason, Adobe Audition, and FL studio so far.. I'm ok with Adobe, and FL, Just Reason I have trouble with. What do you recommend I do.

Reason 3.0 is good if you use the combinator to layer sounds and tweak stuff. You should have a good soundcard to get the most out of Reason. If you want to sample, well...the Propellerhead Recycle program is good for that, but it's good to have adobe audition or cool edit...(or sony soundforge to record from vinyl if your turntable plugs into your soundcard)..If you have sounds that are not in wav. format, because you can convert them in cool edit or whatever..and then load them into Recycle... chop it up..save it as a Rex. File.... and use the Dr.Rex loop player in Reason to load it.

(Yeah, I know..long ass sentence...)

Having a midi controller of some sort (maybe some midi trigger pads or a 25 key...actually just get the m-audio axiom 25 if you want keys..cause you get 8 trigger pads with it as well as recording and playback control for overdubs) will really help.
